Everyone,
I know this question must come up often, but I am afraid I will have
to venture to ask it anyway. I have developed software for many years
on other platforms, so I am not a total newbie. I am new to the Mac /
Xcode development community. I have a few questions about how to get
started.
I bought the book, "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" by Addison Wesley,
Second Edition.
I have a MacBook Pro Intel running the latest version of Leopard.
I installed the developer tools off the Leopard DVD ( which is v.3.0 I
think )
My questions are:
Usually when you setup a development environment such as java etc, you
install your sdk and then the IDE ( like eclipse and tomcat ), then
you install your database and other sundry frameworks.
I was doing my evening reading ( learning ) and saw the iPhone SDK
available, so I started reading and downloading the dmg. It says it
comes with Xcode 3.1, but the Mac developer site has only Xcode 3.0
listed. Am I missing something? It also makes a difference between the
iPhone Dev Center and the Mac Dev Center? What gives with that?
I want to have the latest development tools installed to start
developing, but it seems that there is a mismatch in the versions. Not
sure if I missed something or not.
Can someone list for me the steps to setup my machine to be able to
start developing mac/iphone/ipod touch software?
A list such as this:
1) Install Developer Tools from the Leopard DVD
1.1 ) This should be version 3.0 - everything is included
1.2) read the code starts, doco,
2) If you want to develop iPhone/Touch software ( if you don't SKIP
THIS STEP )
2.1) Install the iPhone SDK
2.1.1) This will change your environment from v.3.0 to v.3.1 and
only the things that need to be replaced are replaced.
3) Read your Books!!
4) Ask better questions!!
Maybe I am just unfamiliar with the Mac Development Community's way of
going about things, but it would be great to have a step by step for
someone that seems a bit lost. A nice how-to-get-started would be
great for those of us a little older and un-cool by today's standards
I guess.
Thanks for tolerating a newbie ( of sorts )
Thanks,
Jamie
